Native analytics
Symphony has been developed from the ground up to support
video analytics. Server-based or embedded analytics are
seamlessly supported, as well as third-party applications
through the metadata engine.
Analytic applications include motion tracking, auto-PTZ
tracking, face recognition, license plate recognition, left/

Centralized cloud management

Through the use of Senstar Enterprise Manager™, Symphony
can be managed centrally, which dramatically reduces the
administrative burden typical in multi-site deployments.
Software updates, configuration, and health monitoring can all
be centralized ensuring a strong and up-to-date video
deployment, while limiting downtime and operation costs.
